Not money, but fucking vouchers.

Apparently personal data was only worth 35 usd in vouchers lol

We've seen awful practices in data breach compensation but this feels like satire

  • 50,000 won vouchers
  • 5,000 for food delivery
  • 20,000 only for tour packages that no one even knew it existed
  • 20,000 only for luxury shit that 99% costs more than 100,000
  • 5,000 for normal, actual shit people would use Coupang for.
